One referring to "Jehovah" as "Jah" (5)

I believe the answer is:

rasta

(Other definitions for rasta that I've seen before include "Member of cult worshipping Haile Selassie" , "Adherent of sect originating in Jamaica" , "Jamaican cultist" , "Dreadlocked follower of Haile Selassie" , "Religious type" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
